I have straw to throw over my potatoes. ..........I also want to fleece up my strawberries, the flowers go black in the centre and do not produce fruit.
Your brassicas and peas should be fine..potatoes might get 'touched' by it but it won't kill em..new growth will appear if the should die.As for hosing.. :-\ 6.30 might be bit late.
What kind of time should I.be down for?
Code: [Select]What kind of time should I.be down for? Well sunrise is 5.25 so for it to work you should be working as the frost will 'land'..usually you see it condensing at the sunrise and 'biting' when the sun touches the ground/plants.Are you able to earth you potatoes up to cover the potato tops?..or spread some newspaper on the night before even if its just single sheet over the tops.
If you don't have too many potatoes, upturned large plantpots and buckets keep frost off. My garden looks very stupid on risky nights, but it works - they don't blow around like newspaper.
Went to do a quick cover up today, and found a dead mouse in the shredded fleece-yuk! Fortunately I had another, pristine one.
